CORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

As a mature individual with years of experience in this and related fields, I bring honed talents,

applied knowledge and enthusiasm to any venue, particularly the Nursing Home Administration

field.

I have an "open door" policy that invites and fosters honest communication with all staff. This

in turn promotes a more harmonious work environment, higher staff morale and resultant better

care for residents.

My expectations for budget control are accomplished with ongoing dialogue and clearly stated

goals and consequences. I will often assist with any roles in dietary and environmental

services should an employee call in or if a staffing shortage takes place. This shows all staff my

willingness and enthusiasm to perform all jobs (save nursing) should the need arise.
